- Using the inflation annual rates online, I got that 1.4b would be 2.1b in today's dollars, so in 17 years, revenue's gone up 3.5 times. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:18

  - MLB has a period of time called the "Steroid Era". Plus no salary cap basically eliminates 80% of the teams from actually competing. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:17 3
    - Fans..didn't mind the steroid era. And in the last decade, like 80% of the teams have hit the playoffs. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:22 1
      - Yup. As much as I dislike Bud and some of the things he's done to the game, it's not rationally arguable that he hasn't - musubi Nov 16, 09:29
